The Scrunchie Project in The Wellington Times
Ms. Nguyen’s link to Reaching for Rainbows came through a former board member. “I wanted to start giving back to the community, and I thought of a special line of scrunchies in colours to match the Reaching for Rainbows brand. The designs are floral, youthful and cute,” she said. She invited the girls in the program to submit names for the scrunchies, and then asked her social media followers to vote on the choices. The final list of eight includes Fruit Explosion, Blue Lagoon, and Farmer’s Plants.
